This is patently incorrect. Does your e-mail tool tell the world your
alias list? No! The tool maintains a private database for you and no
other application is allowed access to it.
This topic has suffered from more than its fair share of incorrect
extrapolation. Please lets keep the discussion on the proposal
not on privacy in general.
